Owen Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I still don't care about Home. Will people get as addicted to PS3s achievement system as increasing a score? I'm not convinced. I wonder how popular Home will actually be. Is everyone here really excited for it? Or are you more curious as to how everything will actually work? I really like the sound of it, mainly for having your own apartment and decorating it to your tastes! Not sure about spending 'real' money to add furniture etc.. I just wish they would release the damn thing now!

I've said before they are both equal in my eyes...gamerscore and Home achievements, they are just a means of bragging rights or to increase people's gaming egos, I really don't get why people hold up gamerscores as a holy grail...
LegoMan1031 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Yer i know what you mean flameboy. On the 360 i really enjoyed getting achievments but the gamerscore never bothered me. I liked getting achievments coz i seen it as adding life to a game-trying to get them all kinda thing so i could say 'i did it' Like completing a game on the hardest difficulty kinda thing. I'm quite curious about home as i don't know much about it. I may of asked this question before but will the PS3 ever have a system in place where you can read messages and view what your friends are playing without actually having to leave a game?

Yeah its on its way but all we know is that its sometime this year.

I dont really give a fuck about gamer points but having to leave a game then go into home then look about to see what you and your friends have achieved seems a bit to much to do You can just press a few buttons, even when in a game to check it on the 360 This is why I think home will fail unless there is a way to check in game

LegoMan1031 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Yeah its on its way but all we know is that its sometime this year. Ok cool. Should make things so much better when they do that!

ReZourceman Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I promised impressions of God of War PSP, and so here we go. I havn't played any God of War before this, so dont have anything else to base it on, but my god its a fucking sweet game. It doesnt particularly have any super unique elements, rather it borrows from various other games, but makes the elements somewhat better. The combat is awesome, kinda like Devil May Cry how it has a rating system, and you get extra orbs depending how good the combo is. The chains are amazing, with like awesome combos you can do. Magic is sweet. Buttons are good. The "analgoue stick" feels great! Graphics are very good. Basically everything about it is amazing, and Im definitely looking forward to the PS3 version now! 9/10 (so far) Disgaea hasnt been out of the PSP for so long! (Ive now logged 75 hours on Disgaea, with 5 chapters left out of 14) Heh heh.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Just finished God of War: Chains of Olympus this morning, took 4 hours Just like Silent Hill its a great game but far too short. Its amazing how fantastic it looks on the PSP though and it felt just like the PS2 games. Now to wait for GoW3 on the PS3, man thats gonna look sweet.

Im about 1hour 50 minutes in or so, but Ive only unlocked like level 2 of each the Chains/blades and the Ifreet thing....seems Ive got loads more to unlock. Damn that sucks, its an amazing game.

You may take slightly longer as its your first GoW game but 4-6 hours is about the average length of the game. Like you said though its still an amazing game and I still have some unlockables to get. Another day and Crisis Core still hasnt arrived. Fingers crossed it turns up tomorrow Once again the Japanese gamers go mad for Monster Hunter and quite rightly so. According to early sales figures, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G did monster business, selling over 670,000 copies in Japan at launch. That means the sequel out sold the original Monster Hunter Portable, which moved 512,000 copies at launch (497,000 individual copies, plus 15,000 bundles). The breakdown this time around is apparently 652,000 copies of the game and 17,000 PSP game bundles. We'll get official sales data later in the week, but with MHP 2nd G sold out at pretty much every store I've been to, willing to bet these early numbers are pretty accurate. Source: Kotaku

Its amazing how fantastic it looks on the PSP though and it felt just like the PS2 games. Now to wait for GoW3 on the PS3, man thats gonna look sweet. Know what you mean. I need to get the PS2 ones finished before a PS3 game comes out. It's annoying me that I can't play them on my PS3. I don't want to have to have 4 consoles out. 3 is bad enough.

I don't want to have to have 4 consoles out. 3 is bad enough. *strokes USA 60GB PS3* Got a package through the post today, I opened it thinking it would be Metal Gear Solid collection but it was... FFVIII... so I was neither dissapointed nor ecstactic It's a shame that there isn't a way to stretch PS1 games slightly so they fo proper full screen, anyways FFVIII seems good, was only testing it though, will probably play it properly closer to when FFXIII (13?) comes out, whenever that is. At least all those NTSC PS2 games I ordered will be full screen though. (I hope) ^^

m_fergy Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 There confirmed by Sony. Really ? Just that the X and O buttons dont look like fit and the little trolley in the top right looks to big for its box But if there confirmed then great
flameboy Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 well if that is the new look I will be pretty happy if Playstation Store looks like that...
Dante Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 GT5:P sold well for a demo. This happened before with the launch of ‘GT4: Prologue’ on PS2 in June 2004…10 months later the full product was launched (Gran Turismo 4, March 2005). ‘GT5: Prologue’ becomes the fastest-selling PS3 title within a week (19th overall). 01 (__) [PS3] Gran Turismo 5: Prologue (Sony Computer Ent.) 02 (01) [360] Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 (Ubisoft) 03 (02) [WII] Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games (Sega) 04 (03) [PS3] Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 (Ubisoft) 05 (__) [WII] Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Konami)
S.C.G Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Question : - Do PS1 games that are downloaded from the PSN run at full screen?
Hero-of-Time Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Crisis Core arrived this morning and after 2 hours play im already in love with it. Angeal and Zack>>>>>>>>Cloud
ReZourceman Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Hmmmm. Im tempted by the game. So its like a 3D Action Adventure RPG?
Hero-of-Time Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Hmmmm. Im tempted by the game. So its like a 3D Action Adventure RPG? Yeah. There are random encounters but you do your fighting in real-time much like Kingdom Hearts. There is also a slot machine system which allows you to level up and powers you up in battle, still trying to get my head around that though
